Queens gets new CAU rep

Former Queens Chronicle reporter, Jennifer Manley, is the new director of the Mayor's Community Affairs Unit for western Queens.

“No problem is too small,” Manley told reporters on a visit to the Chronicle last week. “If your block has overflowing trash cans, for example, that’s a big thing in your universe. And there’s really no reason the city shouldn’t take care of it.”

“I’ve been on the ground, talking to people,” she said of her old shoe-leather days with the Chronicle. However, as a reporter, “you often see the same types of problems arise over and over again. Now, I actually get to do something to resolve the issues I’ve seen so many times.”

“City government feels impenetrable,” she said. “One of the reasons I took this job was to be able to help government work better for the people that I have been writing about for the last year-and-a-half.”

We hope you'll actually do that instead of just parroting your boss, the Beantown Boy. You're lucky in the sense that your predecessor lowered the bar for you.

to Dirty Harry (wow how original (rolling eyes)), I'd suggest you keep your mouth clean before you talk about someone you don't know. Jenifer is not only a hard working person, she's also honest, and to the point. She'll be a great asset to Queens the to the Mayor's office.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap

"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
